Debian installed with a floppy disk without any profile + xfbdev + dwm will run fast. It will boot in about 40 seconds and will be able to run some good old apps like XMMS(1), EmelFM(1), URXVT, XPDF, XFig, Rox and many other as fast as a modern computer would run the GTK2/Qt4 equivalent of those apps. In fact, c omputer like this can run very fast with idle ram usage a little above 5mb. I did it for fun, it took some work to strip it down to that point, but performances were very good by modern standard.
